    Wow! I just installed it. Works like a charm! There's something satisfying about seeing how many annoying ads have already been blocked in the upper corner.

    Post what you cannot say

    Just because I forgave you didn't mean I was giving any of you the green light to go back to the way things were before. Sorry, I'll never let my guards down around you people again just so that you can feel comfortable enough to repeat the performance. You're not friends, you're ex associates...

    How do you respond to the "do you have a girlfriend" interrogation?

    I always hated that when I was single. It's such a rude question because they don't know the person's state of mind. It may be a very touchy subject at the moment. I mean, what if you just went through a painful breakup? What if you really want a girlfriend but can't find one and you're...

    How are you feeling?

    So, things worked out just the way I'd hoped. It didn't go south as I'd worried after all. I'm happy but now I'm suspicious. I get that way when things turn out too well. :unsure:

    How are you feeling?

    I feel like things are coming around but could still go south. Cautiously optimistic. :unsure:

    The more certain I am that I'm done with some people, the harder it is to get them to realize that I'm done with them!

    How are you feeling?

    Feeling like everything may collapse at once or I may experience a major breakthrough. Strange when very good and potentially very bad things are happening at the same time.

    Thanks vj288, I really hope this to be true. I can't count the number of times I've shared a similar experience I've been through on here and hoping the person I'm speaking to feels better knowing he/she is not alone. One-upsmanship is definitely not my intent when I do this. Still, I will be...

    How are you feeling?

    Feeling like I've won a small victory over some people who were saying things behind my back. I've proven them wrong (for the most part) without stooping to their level. It's a good feeling.

    Urge to react irrationally when treated offensively

    I do often feel that way. You have to constantly remind yourself that by not responding, you are doing the right thing. It helps me when I think that they'd actually like for me to get upset enough to try saying something hurtful back. That way I'd be playing their (evil) game. It gives me...

    I recently learned that when people are telling of a traumatic experience, it's considered rude to speak of something similar that happened to you. I didn't know this and would usually do it if I had a shared experience. I always thought it was a way of showing empathy as if to say, I know the...

    Thanks Molly. It's something I've aspired to for years. This year I just decided to be focused and get it done. I'm working on the second which I just started. So far, it's a little slow going but that's okay.

    Did a small book signing yesterday (my first). It wasn't nearly as dreadful as I thought it was going to be. I actually enjoyed it and wouldn't mind having the opportunity again.
